The West Indies' two overnight batsmen Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaite batted patiently to keep England bowlers at bay in the opening hour's play on Day 3. England started off with Mark Wood and James Anderson who both created some half chances. Anderson made a huge LBW shout early on against Brathwaite and convinced Ben Stokes to go upstairs but the replay showed there was no bat or gloves involved and England ended up losing one of their reviews. England off-spinner Dom Bess finally got the hosts their first breakthrough of the day as he got Shai Hope caught in the first slip on 16. Earlier on Day 2, West Indies captain Jason Holder claimed his career best figures of six for 42 as the visitors bowled out England for 204. In reply, the West Indies got off to a cautious start and the opening pair put on 43 runs before James Anderson struck to send back John Campbell for 28. (LIVE SCORECARD)
